Directories that require a badge: Best Directory Submission Service
Submi’s directory submission reference for Best Directory Submission Service: A badge-gated directory publishes a listing only after the product’s website displays that directory’s badge or a link back to it.
How the requirement works
The directory gives you a small image or snippet and checks your site for it, sometimes once and sometimes repeatedly. Remove the badge and the listing may be taken down. Some checkers read only the raw HTML and cannot see a badge inserted by a script, so a badge can be installed and still fail the check.
Decide whether the trade is worth it
A badge is a link from your site to the directory, offered in exchange for a listing. Weigh the directory’s value against a footer that fills with other people’s logos. Many founders accept a small number from directories they respect, and refuse the rest.
How Submi handles it
Submi offers Badge Sync, a single snippet that shows the badges a campaign needs. A customer can also choose no badge, and badge-gated directories are then left out of the worker’s list. Ask any service how it treats these directories, because a badge-gated attempt without the badge fails silently.
